A GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING: Something a little different this Christmas
A GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING
Something a little different this Christmas.
by Danni Murphy
We all know someone who is tricky to buy for at Christmas. They either seem to have everything already or insist they don’t want anything at all! While there’s nothing quite like finding that perfect present to unwrap on Christmas morning, sometimes the best gifts are the ones that give us something to look forward to long after the decorations have come down.
If you fancy doing something a little different this year, why not consider the gift of an experience?
Here in Cumbria, we’re spoilt for choice when it comes to places to explore, things to discover and days out to enjoy together.
An annual pass to Maryport Aquarium or Walby Farm Park could mean a whole year of family adventures, while history lovers might enjoy discovering more about our local heritage at The Beacon Museum in Whitehaven or Senhouse Roman Museum in Maryport. Aviation enthusiasts could spend an afternoon exploring Solway Aviation Museum, while Muncaster Castle offers a wonderful day out among its historic buildings, gardens and fascinating birds of prey. Greystoke Castle is another one to look into for those who love a bit of local history.
Depending on the attraction, passes and memberships can also include discounts on selected events and activities, giving you even more reasons to make a return visit throughout the year.
Of course, there’s still plenty of magic in having a present to unwrap, but an experience offers something extra; time together, new discoveries and memories to look back on. And really, what could be a lovelier gift than that?
